The "Film and Moving Image" of the Kunsthochschule Kassel in cooperation with the Filmladen Kassel e.V. present:
REPRODUKTION
Germany 2024
Director: Katharina Pethke
Length: 111 min.
Who is allowed to show what? And who is being watched? REPRODUKTION tells the story of three women in three generations who all studied art and almost disappeared. In care work, in reproduction. The film traces their stories. Stories of women artists.
REPRODUKTION describes power, class and gender relations and tells of discarded drawings and unfinished careers. In the process, something becomes visible of the exclusion criteria of the institutions, of the power system of an art academy and its spaces.
The film also explores the ideal images that women are confronted with in art: the larger-than-life male genius on the wall - and the selflessly loving mother carved in stone. Does the one ideal exclude the other ideal?
The film REPRODUKTION was shown in the Forum section of the Berlinale in February 2024.
Afterwards: Katharina Pethke in conversation with Anna Berger and Jan Peters.
